We have added a few new features to make this year’s conference and exposition an exciting and worthwhile educational experience with an outstanding display of laboratory products, services, instrumentation and the newest technologies for you to see and touch. Don’t miss the many educational and social opportunities that Pittcon 2011 has to offer. Attend one of our award winning symposia, visit the posters on the exposition floor, take one of our fantastic multi-level short courses or participate in a dynamic, interactive networking session with your colleagues. The week starts off with our plenary lecture from Dr. Chad Mirkin on Sunday, March 13, followed by a poster and mixer event to connect with old friends and meet new ones. Explore the exposition floor either on foot or by riding the looping tram, and visit approximately 1,000 exhibiting companies that offer solutions for all of your laboratory needs. Take advantage of the mixers on the exposition floor on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Visit the Pittcon Booth (#5079) to pick up a 2011 souvenir, grab an apple snack, send tweets about Pittcon, and learn about the exciting plans for Pittcon 2012. Relax in Centennial Park, explore the interactive display from Coca-Cola, and enjoy the multitude of videos on exhibitors’ products to help you decide your next stop on the exposition floor. Extend your Pittcon experience by taking advantage of the post-show webcasted symposia and by joining Pittconnect.com, Pittcon’s social network for science. Continue your dialogue and learning from exhibitors and colleagues until you get to be face to face with them again at Pittcon 2012 in Orlando, Florida, March 11-16, 2012. Thanks for attending Pittcon 2011, and I hope you enjoy the week! Welcome to Atlanta and the Pittcon 2011 Exposition. As you may have already experienced first hand, our exposition has always been your best opportunity to learn and discover. It’s a time to evaluate, and compare the latest instrumentation, technology, and supplies for laboratory science provided by exhibitors from all over the world. The Georgia World Congress Center will envelope you in a dynamic exhibition and a once-a-year opportunity to interact with sales and technical staff, participate in live demos, and attend vendor seminars. Special show-only hours with no technical sessions between the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. will give you time to visit the exhibits without missing any important presentations. In the center of the exposition floor, Centennial Park will not only provide a place to relax and network, but will also include an interactive Coca-Cola display, informative exhibitor videos, and complimentary copies of leading industry publications. Please visit the several specialty areas on the floor this year including the New Exhibitors, Life Science, LIMS, the French Pavilion, and ICP Alley. The posters will be displayed in two areas, Red and Blue, located at each end of the exhibit floor. Other amenities include complimentary souvenir bags; a looping tram; computer access at two Internet Cafes; Apple Booths; Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoon mixers; a two-station Twitter Café in Pittcon booth 5079; and strategically located information booths to help you navigate the Georgia World Congress Center. If you require any assistance or have questions regarding the exposition, please stop at one of the Exposition Information booths or the Exposition Management Office. Welcome to Pittcon 2011. We are pleased to present an outstanding technical program again this year. Inside the Program, you will find a broad and deep range of presentations that illustrate the best means of solving complex problems in molecular biology, pharmaceutics, the environment, forensics, materials science and more. We are pleased to once again have as our programming partners the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry (ACS-DAC), the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS), the Japanese Analytical Instrument Manufacturers Association (JAIMA), Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS), The Association of Lab Managers (ALMA), Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry (SEAC). You will find many ways to access talks of interest to you. Inside this program, look for the Focus Areas at a Glance. The Agenda of Sessions gives a quick day-byday overview of all sessions including our expanded selection of Conferee Networking Sessions. Searchable CD-ROMS with the full program and abstracts can be found at Program Locators and Pittcon Information Booths. Again this year, Pittcon is pleased to announce Webcasts of selected symposia. The webcast symposia will be available for 60 days following the conference to registered attendees only. These webcast symposia will be marked with a camera icon in the Technical Program listing, the Focus Areas at a Glance and in the Agenda of Sessions. The Pittcon website has program information organized a number of ways, but for a “customized program”, use the Pittcon mobile app, or if you do not have a Smartphone, you can use Agenda Builder. I hope you will get the most out of the Technical Program and the rest of Pittcon 2011. As always, feedback is most appreciated. Please stop by and see us in the Program Office (313B).

This award, sponsored jointly by the Pittsburgh Conference and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP), recognizes individuals who have made outstanding achievements within 10 years after completion of their PhD work. Professor Li is being recognized for the number and depth of her contributions in the field of mass spectrometric study of neuropeptides and functional peptidomics. Philip britz-mckibbin, Associate Professor of Bio-analytical Chemistry and Chemical Biology at McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada, will receive the 2011 ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Award for Young Investigators in Separation Science. The award, sponsored by Agilent Technologies and administered by the Analytical Division of the American Chemical Society, recognizes and encourages outstanding contributions to the field of separation science by a young chemist or chemical engineer within ten years of their highest degree. These outstanding contributions may include the conceptualization and the development of unique instrumentation for separations, the development of novel and important separation methods or methodologies, the elucidation of theory or fundamental processes involved in separations, or other significant contributions to the furtherance of separation science. Lingjun’s research program is focused on the development of novel mass spectrometry (MS)-based tools in conjunction with microseparation techniques to study challenging neuroscience problems including the functional discovery of neuropeptides and biomarker discovery in neurodegenerative diseases. Emphasis has been placed on constructing a multi-faceted and integrated MS-based platform that include high resolution in-situ peptide mapping, high sensitivity micro-separation techniques coupled with tandem MS de novo sequencing, isotopic labeling strategies, and new bioinformatics tools to allow large-scale discovery and functional analysis of novel neuropeptides. Philip’s research interests have included fundamental studies of separation science involving capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, which are aimed at the development of novel methodologies relevant to metabolomics, metabolite profiling and biomolecular interactions. Dr. Britz-McKibbin joined the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at McMaster University in July 2003. He completed his BSc in chemistry at the University of Toronto (1994) followed by PhD studies in analytical chemistry under the supervision of David D.Y. Chen at the University of British Columbia (2000) in Canada. He then served as a visiting lecturer at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro (2000-2001), which was followed by a Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) post-doctoral fellowship with Shigeru Terabe at Himeji Institute of Technology in Japan (2001-2003). Using this integrated platform, Lingjun and her group discovered more than 200 novel neuropeptides in crustacean model organisms whose genomic sequences are currently unavailable. These findings significantly expanded our knowledge about neuropeptides in these important model organisms and transformed current understanding of neuropeptide family organization. Furthermore, Lingjun and her group implemented both mass spectrometric imaging technologies and in vivo microdialysis sampling tools to follow neuropeptide distribution and secretion in unprecedented details. Dr. Li received her B.E. degree in Environmental Analytical Chemistry from Beijing University of Technology and her PhD degree in Analytical Chemistry/Biomolecular Chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2000 under the supervision of Prof. Jonathan Sweedler; promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2008. Professor Li has published more than 100 peer-reviewed research papers, including 70 research papers since her independent position at University of Wisconsin, Madison. She has been previously recognized with a number of prestigious awards, including the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship, Vilas Associate Award, and the American Society for Mass Spectrometry Research Award. 22 aWarD PrEsEntations at Pittcon 2011 BOMEM-MICHELSON AWARD DAL NOGARE AWARD Tuesday, March 15, 2011 8:00 AM, Room 312 Monday, March 14, 2011 8:00 AM, Room 314 isao noda, Scientist at Procter and Gamble Company, Cincinnati, will receive the 2011 ABBsponsored Bomem-Michelson Award from the Coblentz Society for his pioneering role in advancing 2-dimensional correlation spectroscopy, both theoretically and experimentally, and for the profound impact his work has had on our understanding of structure-property relationships in polymeric materials. Janusz Pawliszyn, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, will receive the prestigious Dal Nogare Award for 2011, presented by The Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley (CFDV), for his outstanding work in the field of chromatography. Awardees are chosen on the basis of his or her contributions to the fundamental understanding of the chromatographic process. Established in honor of Stephen Dal Nogare, who died in 1968 after serving six months as President of the Forum, the CFDV Award recognizes Professor Pawliszyn’s development of SPME, Solid Phase Micro-Extraction technology. The Coblentz Society presents the Bomem-Michelson Award, which is dedicated to the memory of Professor A. E. Michelson, developer of the Michelson Interferometer. ABB sponsors the annual award to honor a scientist who has advanced the technique(s) of vibrational, molecular, Raman or electronic spectroscopy. Janusz’s research has focused on the design of highly automated and integrated instrumentation for the isolation of analytes from complex matrices and the subsequent separation, identification and determination of these species. The primary separation tools used by his group are Gas Chromatography, Liquid Chromatography and Capillary Electrophoresis coupled to variety of detections systems, including range of mass spectrometry techniques. Currently his research is focusing on elimination of organic solvents from the sample preparation step to facilitate on-site monitoring and in-vivo analysis. The major area of his interest involves the development and application of imaging detection techniques for microcolumn chromatography, capillary electrophoresis and micro chip separation devices. Dr. Noda, in the late 1980s, in collaboration with his colleague Dr. Curt Marcott, demonstrated that dispersive infrared spectroscopy could be used to detect changes in molecular conformation and orientation when an external strain is applied to a polymeric system. This made it possible to relate the macroscopic properties of materials to their microscopic or molecular structure. Drs. Noda and Marcott went on to make seminal contributions to the development of step-scan interferometry, a technique that has gained broad acceptance in the field of molecular spectroscopy. Isao has been the primary driver behind the use of generalized 2D analysis, an approach that is now widely used in many fields. There are now thousands of publications in which 2D correlation analysis has been coupled with vibrational spectroscopy, NMR, X-ray, mechanical measurements, fluorescence spectroscopy and many others. This approach to data analysis has dramatically increased the available information from various forms of spectroscopy. By applying these methods to synthetic polymers and biomaterials. Most notably, Janusz is the founder of SPME, Solid Phase Micro-Extraction, technology and in addition to all of the vast body of work in separation science; this is the one that has the greatest commercial success and recognition. Professor Pawliszyn initiated an annual world conference, “ExTech”, focusing on new advances in sample preparation and disseminates scientific developments in the area. His recognitions include: the 1995 McBryde Medal, the 1996 Tswett Medal, the 1996 Hyphenated Techniques in Chromatography Award, the 1996 Caledon Award, the Jubilee Medal 1998 from the Chromatographic Society of the U.K., the 2000 Maxxam Award from Canadian Society for Chemistry, the 2000 Varian Lecture Award from Carleton University, the Humboldt Research Award for 2001, 2002 COLACRO Medal, and in 2003 Canada Research Chair.

REILLEY AWARD (SEAC) YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD (SEAC) Monday, March 14, 2011 2:00 PM, Room 312 Monday, March 14, 2011 4:00 PM, Room 312 richard P. van Duyne, Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University, will receive the 2011 Charles N. Reilley Award in Electroanalytical Chemistry, sponsored and presented by the Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry (SEAC). He has made pioneering advances in electroanalytical science, especially related to surfaces and the use of Raman spectroscopy. b. Jill venton, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at University of Virginia, will receive the 2011 Young Investigator Award, presented annually by the Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry (SEAC). Professor Venton’s research focus has been on using microelectrodes to make rapid measurements of neurotransmitters. Dr. Venton’s lab has developed a novel new methodology to measure endogenous changes in the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin in the fruit fly brain. By employing optogenetics and microelectrodes, specific neurons can be activated and real-time changes in neurotransmission observed. This work has demonstrated that neurotransmitter signaling is largely conserved between Drosophila and mammals, making Drosophila a good model system for studying neurotransmitters. Professor Van Duyne first used resonance Raman spectroelectrochemistry to measure the vibrational frequency changes that accompany heterogeneous and homogeneous electron transfer reactions. Following the 1974 report by Martin Fleischman that the Raman spectrum of adsorbed pyridine could be observed on a roughened silver electrode, Richard pursued this unexplained observation leading to the 1977 discovery of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). SERS is now widely recognized as the most sensitive form of spectroscopy capable of identifying single molecules. Jill’s lab has also pushed fast-scan cyclic voltammetry and microelectrodes beyond traditional neurotransmitters, in particular for the monitoring of the neuromodulator adenosine. Using carbon-fiber microelectrodes, they have characterized transient changes in adenosine for the first time in brain slices and in vivo. Jill’s lab is also developing carbon nanotube based electrodes and exploring their electrochemical properties. In addition, her group develops capillary electrophoresis instrumentation with fluorescence or electrochemical detection for rapid separations of neurotransmitters. His continued work has led to the development of SERS-based sensors for glucose, lactate, anthrax, and chemical warfare agents. Richard is also widely credited with the invention of nanosphere lithography (NSL) and its use in transforming the field of nanoparticle optics. His discoveries using NSL have led to the development of ultrasensitive nanoscale biosensors based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy, most notably, for Alzheimer’s disease. Jill received her PhD in 2003 from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under the direction of R. Mark Wightman. She was a postdoctoral scholar in the labs of Robert Kennedy and Terry Robinson at University of Michigan from 2003-2005, where she was an NIH postdoctoral fellow. Her undergraduate degree is from University of Delaware. Since joining the faculty at the University of Virginia in 2005, her lab has published over 15 papers. Richard received his BS degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1967 and his PhD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1971 under the direction of Charles N. Reilley. Richard started his independent career as Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University in 1971 and rose through the ranks to become Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry (1986). He has been honored with many awards and recognitions, including: the ACS Analytical Chemistry Award (2010), the Coblentz Society Bomem-Michelson Award (2010), the Surfaces in Biomaterials Foundation Excellence in Surface Science Award (1996), the Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award (1991), the Phi Lambda Upsilon National Fresenius Award (1981), and the Coblentz Society Memorial Prize in Molecular Spectroscopy (1980). Jill has been the recipient of numerous recognitions and awards, including the Reilley award given by Pharmacia to an outstanding analytical graduate student, the ACS Progress/Dreyfus Foundation Lectureship, Eli Lilly Young Analytical Investigator Award, National Science Foundation CAREER Award, and the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award.

ADAMS AWARD WILLIAMS WRIGHT AWARD Wednesday, March 16, 2011 2:00 PM, Room 312 Wednesday, March 16, 2011 2:00 PM, Room 314 James W. Jorgenson, the William Rand Kenan, Jr., Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will receive the 2011 Ralph N. Adams Award in Bioanalytical Chemistry sponsored by the Pittsburgh Conference and the Friends of Ralph N. Adams. The award was established to honor an outstanding scientist who has advanced the field of bioanalytical chemistry through research, innovation and/or education. James is being honored for his leadership in the development of separation methods widely used in bioanalytical chemistry. howard mark, President of Mark Electronics, will receive the 2011 Williams-Wright Award from the Coblentz Society. The Award is presented annually at Pittcon to an industrial spectroscopist who has made significant contributions to vibrational spectroscopy while working in industry. Howard was awarded the BS degree in chemistry from the City College of New York in 1963 and earned his MA degree in chemistry from the City University of New York in 1966. He was awarded the PhD degree in physical chemistry from New York University in 1972. He remained at NYU as a research fellow, performing research in surface chemistry and in applications of the then-new field of FTIR spectroscopy. James Jorgenson began his exploration of innovative separation methods for the separation of biomolecules while a graduate student in the laboratory of Professor Milos Novotny. Upon arrival at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1979, he developed the field of capillary electrophoresis, a chemical separation technique that has unprecedented resolving power for separating chemical mixtures. The success of capillary electrophoresis opened up an entire field of microscale chemical separations, and these tools were quickly adapted by scientists interested the chemical composition of a broad range of biological tissues and cells. Howard joined Technicon Instrument Corporation in 1976 and worked in the then-new field of near-infrared analysis. While there he created, designed and developed new algorithms for NIR quantitative and qualitative analysis and applied statistical and chemometric methods to optimize test procedures. He was the first person to apply the concept of Mahalanobis Distance to spectroscopic analysis. In 1986 Howard began writing, with Jerry Workman, the popular and influential “Statistics in Spectroscopy” column published in Spectroscopy Magazine. Howard and Jerry continue to publish a “Chemometrics in Spectroscopy” column in the magazine. Howard is a contributing editor and a member of the editorial advisory board of Spectroscopy magazine, has authored or co-authored seven patents; over 190 publications, 85 oral presentations and 13 books and book chapters on NIR analysis and on the application of statistics and chemometrics to spectroscopic analysis. James was the first to demonstrate the possibility of analyzing the contents of single biological cells because capillary electrophoresis only requires very small volumes. Capillary gel electrophoresis is also the technique utilized for sizing DNA sequencing fragments today and in fact was the breakthrough technology that allowed the human genome to be sequenced several years ahead of schedule! Later, he expanded the limits of capillary electrophoresis by showing that the voltages utilized in these experiments could be increased by an order of magnitude (>300 kV) to achieve a corresponding order of magnitude increase in plate count. More recently he has demonstrated that microbore liquid chromatography experiments can be accomplished utilizing ultra-high pressures to achieve chromatographic separations with unprecedented separation efficiencies in relatively brief times. Dr. Mark was awarded the 2003 Eastern Analytical Symposium Award for Outstanding Achievement in Near Infrared Spectroscopy. Howard has given back to his profession via significant involvement in the Council for Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, the New York Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, and the ASTM. Howard is currently president of Mark Electronics, a consulting company providing services in the fields of near-infrared analysis, chemometric and statistical data analysis, and custom instrument design and development. He is also founder and president of The Near Infrared Research Corporation. Professor Jorgenson received his BS degree from Northern Illinois University in 1974 and his PhD from Indiana University in 1979. He has won numerous awards including the American Chemical Society Award in Analytical Chemistry, the Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award, and the American Chemical Society Award in Chromatography. He was elected a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2007. From 2000-2005 he served as Chemistry Department Chair at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He has directed the research of more than 50 PhD students. 25 aWarD PrEsEntations at Pittcon 2011 PITTCON HERITAGE AWARD Sunday, March 13, 2011 4:30 p.m., Sidney Marcus Auditorium John N.

Waters has been a unique contributor to the Pittcon Technical Program since 1990 through his funding of the James L. Waters Annual Symposium to recognize pioneers in the conception, development, implementation, and commercialization of scientific instrumentation of major and established significance. Mr. Waters has been an entrepreneur since his graduation from Columbia University in 1946. At age 22, he established J. L. Waters, Inc. manufacturing IR gas analyzers, sold that company in 1955, and established Waters Associates in 1958. He developed an airborne hydrometer, flame photometer detectors, and refractometers for various applications. He further developed the refractometer into a sensor for the then little-known liquid chromatograph (LC), and eventually a small-volume sensor for gel-permeation chromatograph (GPC). WatersAssociates’ first GPC, introduced at the 1964 Pittcon, was a great commercial success. In 1968, Mr. Waters refocused his efforts on chromatographic sensors and introduced their first LC system in 1969. Waters Associates trademarked the tagline, “The Liquid Chromatography People”, after they helped purify positional isomers of a precursor to vitamin B12 for Nobel Laureate Robert Woodward of Harvard University. In 1992 Waters introduced software for chromatography, and in 1994 HPLC columns for drug assays and a benchtop LC-MS. All 31 of these actions fueled the growth of Waters Associates, which, under Mr. Waters’ leadership from 1958 to 1980, grew from 5 to 1100 employees with an annual sales volume around $100 million, and to 4000 employees worldwide with an annual sales volume in excess of $1 billion. Mr. Waters has been a private venture capitalist since 1980. He is currently President of Waters Business Systems and enjoys working with young entrepreneurs. Mr. Waters endowed the James L. Waters Chair in Analytical Chemistry at Northeastern University. The name “Waters” has become synonymous with “LC” in the scientific community.

Explore what the new groundbreaking new TripleTOF™ 5600 System – the world’s first high-resolution, accurate mass LC/MS/MS system – can do for your lab! For details on times and topics, visit AB SCIEX at Booth #3535. Dionex Corporation SR 21 Monday, March 14, 2011 10:00 a.m. Improving Productivity Through Automated Sample Preparation Sample preparation methodologies are often the most time-, labor- and solvent-intensive portions of analytical workflows. Adding automation to sample preparation processes can provide big improvements in overall productivity while simultaneously providing better analytical performance (precision and recovery). This presentation will discuss how the use of automation for the extraction, clean-up and evaporation of solid and liquid samples can provide these improvements. 11:00 a.m. Fast Results: Semi-Quantitative Analysis without the Need for Standards Measuring the amount of an unknown substance in chromatography is extremely difficult because of not knowing the structure or response factor, which typically provide the reference to measure against. One way to remedy this is to purify, characterize, and then measure the response of the unknown substance against a known compound but this solution is time consuming and often requires equipment (e.g. NMR) not readily available in the lab. In this seminar, Dionex presents a different approach: using a Charged Aerosol Detector that provides consistent response, independent of molecular structure.
